Ryzen 3 3200G vs Core 2 Duo E6550 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 3 3200G beats the Core 2 Duo E6550 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E6550 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 3 3200G has significantly more cores than the Core 2 Duo E6550. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200G has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core 2 Duo E6550. It also has more threads than the Core 2 Duo E6550. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 3 3200G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Duo E6550. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Duo E6550 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 3 3200G

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Ryzen 3 3200G has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
